| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airplane was on approach to the destination airport when the pilot noticed a differential reading between the left and right engine cylinder/exhaust temperatures. While preparing to land, he moved his seat back to be able to better view the gauges located on the right side of the instrument panel. While the pilot was recording the gauge indications on paper, the airplane's airspeed decreased, the sink rate increased, and the airplane descended and impacted trees and a corn field.
Probable Cause: The pilot's diverted attention during an approach for landing that resulted in an altitude loss and impact with terrain.
